I donât think you can move a variable from a server to a client⌠But you can pass out values.
What do you want to do by moving a variable? Maybe there is an alternative way to achieve that.
Would have to see the server side code thatâs calling the remote. It depends on how youâre managing the value of serverName.
But if the 2nd remote is in the same file/context as where youâre calling the first remote (that passes in serverName), then it should work.
If itâs not in the same place, you would need to get that serverName value first before passing it into the 2nd remote.
You can do that a number of ways, depending on how your file structure is set up.
If you canât have both remotes in the same file as the serverName, the simplest way would be to set up a function on the file that has serverName called âM.getServerName()â and have it return serverName to whatever calls the function, whether itâs via a ModuleScript or through a bindable function.
Here is the server script that handles the remote events.
local ServerName = Instance.new("StringValue")
ServerName.Name = player.Name.. "'s SERVER"
ServerName.Value = player.Name.. "'s SERVER"
ServerName.Parent = ServerScriptService.ServerIDHandler.ServerNames
-- set the parent as the last property because it's more optimized
for _, ReceivePlayer in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").ServerNames:FireClient(ReceivePlayer, player.Name, ServerName.Value)
print("for loop")
end
Sorry, I assumed serverName was a single value persisting somewhere on your server.
Correct me if Iâm wrong:
It looks like youâre creating a stringValue of serverName containing each userâs name appended with ââS SERVERâ, but youâre parenting them to the ServerNames folder, and trying to fire them from there?
Youâll want a table called something like âplayerServersâ inside of a file that you could call and manage for something like that.
Let me ask this: Whatâs the objective here? What is the goal of firing a serverName stringValue consisting of âUSERâS SERVERâ to a userâs client?
Are you doing anything specific with those server names on the server side? Or are you just wanting to have each client store a server name value of âUSERâS SERVERâ?
On your first statement, no ServerNames is also a folder.
For your third statement, my goal was to check if the remote event recieves it and it does, my GOAL NOW (sry caps) is to find out a way to have the same variable in different sections of code. So like I want to display the ServerName in the closefunction.LeaveServer bit, but I canât do that since it is at
Gotcha, my mistake. Ive found adding âRemoteâ to the end of remote events for can help with readability/collaboration and avoid confusion.
Ok so if youâre just simply trying to interact with the serverName from inside that function, you just need to be able to access it, whether itâs passed in or referenced from elsewhere. You donât even need to pass it in the second remote event, you can just store it on the client when itâs passed in through the first remote event:
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local PlayerNameText = script.Parent.PlayerNameText
- - new serverName variable
local myServerName
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").ServerNames.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player, ServerName)
-- Invokes in ServerIDHandler
print(ServerName .. "PLAYERS SCRIPT")
- - set new serverName here
myServerName = ServerName
end)
And then you can call it from your other function:
game.ReplicatedStorage.CloseFunction.LeaveServer.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player)
- - Do something with myServerName here
local PlayerTextClone = script.Parent:FindFirstChild(player.Name)
PlayerTextClone:Destroy()
end)
(Apologies for the bad code formatting, Iâm on mobile right now)
Worth mentioning that if all server names will just be âUSERâS SERVERâ to display on the client, you donât actually have to pass them from the server if you donât plan on doing anything else with them there. You can just write a script on your client init file that saves the value on the client when they connect.
